yes, that's what I'm thinking would be good; but rather than adding bits of text to various tooltips in an ad hoc manner what I'm suggesting is that every command has a list of related commands attached. Then the tooltip can be automatically expanded to allow you to explore the related tooltips - that is instead of displaying a fixed bit of text describing the current command there would be a button to consult the tooltips of related commands. There are a lot of commands that are like this e.g. grace notes that may need grace note hints to be installed, or adjusting measure lengths that someone creating an upbeat might want to know about (or vv).
Worth a bug report surely... version 2.7 ???

Perhaps you could add any relevant bits of the tooltip from Add Mark (Text/Rehearsal/Book) to the tooltip for Add Rehearsal/Bookmark? And you could add that you can format these marks with Score > Typesetter > (Print) format of rehearsal marks? I ended up using the Add Mark just so that I could put the rehearsal marks in boxes (I copied and pasted them for each subsequent mark and changed the letter), whereas I could have used Add Mark if I'd known how to format them.

So the situation is that with AddMark you are creating a one-off mark and can set various properties individually, whereas the style of automatic rehearsal marks is something set for the whole score - you wouldn't want to be repeatedly asked about the style of rehearsal marks every time you entered one. It would be good though if commands had a "related commands" attribute that could be given with the help text (tooltip). There would be a lot of work going over all the commands creating this data.

I think you may have missed:

Command: (Print) Format of rehearsal marks
Select the format of rehearsal marks (alphabetic, numeric, boxed, etc.)
Location: Object Menu ▶ Score ▶ Typesetter
Internal Name: ScoreRehearsalMarkFormat

With the Add Mark (Text/Rehearsal/Book) you have a lot more options than with Add Rehearsal/Bookmark, the latter having the advantage that it will automatically work through the alphabet as you add them, but you might want to have them in boxes, say.
